But do we know why it was down? If it was something like a ddos (or claimed to be) this could be used to vilify the protestors.
Can I just say, I'm so happy that everybody banded together against them. Like a bunch of strangers on the internet grouping together to tell them, "No, you will not"
Subreddit mods win. Fatality.
If you can't beat 'em... Fuck 'em!
I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of uninformed users are getting blocked from subreddits and are constantly retrying.
They could also be having to check lots of people against the lists of who is allowed in what private subs. Which could in turn cause problems if the code there assumes that usually people are allowed in the private subs they visit and relies on that to be fast.
Not sure that there were any private subs with tens of millions of disallowed subscribers before this morning.
